Dr. Sellke, Dr. Rhee, and Dr. Nagy’s depth of pediatric experience allows them to skillfully identify children who would benefit from early intervention from children that simply need observation. For some children, guiding the eruption of permanent teeth and jaw development while they’re still growing makes later treatment faster, less costly, and less invasive.
Kids don’t need to remember to wear braces. They’re always doing the work, so parents don’t have to be tracking their kids’ compliance with appliance instructions.
For kids who benefit from early intervention, braces are a sturdy, fast, and predictable choice to get them ready for lifelong smile health.
Parents juggle priorities and want to set their kids up for success without unlimited resources. Braces make it happen without breaking the bank.
Our orthodontists are very discerning when suggesting early intervention for children. They’re not sticking braces on every kid who comes in. They know when a child’s development is best guided with braces or if they need only monitoring until their permanent teeth have erupted and are ready for fine-tuning the alignment of their teeth. Their goal is comfortable, efficient treatment without anything unneeded.
At your consultation, our orthodontist will evaluate your child’s smile, bite, and dental development to determine the best treatment approach. We’ll explain the recommended type of braces, review the treatment timeline, and discuss payment options so your family can move forward with confidence.
Every orthodontic treatment plan is customized for your child’s unique smile. Using digital images and detailed records, we design a treatment approach that moves teeth efficiently while keeping your child comfortable throughout the process.
Once your child’s treatment plan is finalized, braces are carefully placed on the teeth and connected with orthodontic wires that gently guide teeth into proper alignment. Over time, these components work together according to the customized plan created by your orthodontist.
Your child will visit our office periodically so we can monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. After treatment is complete, retainers are provided to help keep the new smile stable and maintain the results for years to come.
Some children begin orthodontic treatment between ages 7 and 10 as part of early orthodontic care.

Caden was very crowded with an open bite skeletal pattern. We treated him in 15 months to this great new smile and no extractions.
